  Speaker 1: Welcome to jag Zam in the PM today, our final
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: show of this season as we get prepared for the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: off season here in Jacksonville, Let's get into our big things,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: brought to you by g EH Government Employees Health Association
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Benefits for federal employees and retirees.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: We start out with the restart button.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Many years it's the reset button, but this year we're
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: just restarting things as they get ready for next season.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Liam Cohen talked a little bit about it, and that was.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: The message to the team on Monday. Was extremely proud
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: of a lot of the things that we were able
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: to accomplish, very proud of their response to adversity into
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: that one or no message in that next play mentality,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: and now that the real work is here to where
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: we have to go and and reload it. We're not
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: gonna just stand here and say, man, we're just gonna
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: redo it all with all the same, same, same same
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Because I got us thirteen wins and knocked out of
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: the playoffs in the first round, so clearly was not
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: good enough for the full end of the season standard.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: But thirty one other teams were having a similar conversation.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Ran They're not gonna be rebuilding everything.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: But it's not a run it back situation either, because
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you didn't get where you ultimately wanted to go, which
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: is to the Super Bowl.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Of course. Yeah. If I've learned anything in thirty two
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: years of doing this is it Momentum doesn't carry over
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: from one season to the next. You have building blocks
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: like Trevor's emergence at the end of the year, but
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: you're not gonna have thirty one takeaways next year. Your
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: run defense might be good, but will it hold opponents
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: to eighty five yards rushing per game. There's gonna be
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: changes on the roster, changes to the coaching staff. So
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: you can't just say, well, we're gonna pick up where
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: we started from or where we left off and start
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: from there. You have to pick up at the bottom
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: of the hill and push that boulder all the way
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: back up to the top. It's just the way it
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: is in today's day and age of professional football, in
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: free agency and coaching changes.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think if there's a theme around this organization,
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: and it'll be what Brian has talked about. Even during
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: the season, it's been clear that whatever's going on this season.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: Once the offseason started, each year is going to be
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: a very much a restart, especially.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: Now there's going to be changes.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: They want to get better and pushing the boulder back
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: up the mountain. I don't think Brian's saying it just
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: now is the last time you're going to hear it
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: this offseason around the Jags.
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: That will be the main focus guy.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's going to our second big thing today, which
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: is two ways about it. Obviously you haven't seen him
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: out on the field in a while, but Travis Hunter
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: is going to be a main focus of this offseason
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and the team going into next year games.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Gladstone talked about.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: What their expectations are with him during his rehab process
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and going forward.
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: I think very fair to say that his rehab process
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: is going as expects didn't. He's hitting it hard, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: you know, obviously the joy that he brings to just
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: the everyday operation is still something that permeates throughout the
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: space that he enters. And beyond that and the role
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: that he'll play, we still expect him to play on
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: both sides of the ball. Obviously you can take a
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: peek at, you know, expiring contracts on our roster and
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: which side of the ball has more Obviously at this
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: point walking into the off season, corner is a position
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: that we have a few guys who are on expiring contracts,
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: so by default you can expect there to be a
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: higher emphasis on his placement.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Some questions obviously whether Travis Hunter will still be playing
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: on both sides with football. James Blodsom comes out and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: says that's their expectation for them, but also notes that
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: there is some need in the secondary and that may
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: be the focus for him going forward.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: John, Yeah, it's sort of common sense. If you look
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: at the depth chart and if you saw him play,
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: he's a high end corner right out of the box.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: As they say, I'd be surprised at this point if
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: he's not one of the main starting co owners. However
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: that looks however you play that, meaning they might have
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: different packages.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: He's going to be there.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: I think the interesting thing going forward is how he
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: fits into an offense that functioned at a very high
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: level without him.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: He clearly has skills on that side of the ball.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: Brian, I think you know, this big thing number two
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: might be big thing number one for a lot of
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: the offseason. I think it's a storyline that we don't know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: and I'm not sure they know how it's going to
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: play out yet.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: No, go back to the previous answer about starting at
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: the bottom and pushing the boulder up the Hilligain. I
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: mean that's they'll go into the off season with the
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: idea that he is a transformative player because that's what
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: they thought last year when they drafted him. And there's
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: no way that their mind was changed dramatically on that
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: issue based on nine weeks that they had him. In fact,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: they believe that he was making progress and they were
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: excited about what was going to happen over the final
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: half of the season, So I would expect. Yes, John
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: mentioned it, and it's just common sense, high end corner
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: and they have a need there and that seems like
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: it makes sense. But the side of it that I
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: just keep coming back to is that this is an organization.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: But go back to when they signed or traded for
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Jacobe Myers, they said, we just want you to come
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: in and be yourself, Just come be you. Well, Travis
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Heener said over and over he's a two way player
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: and that's what he wants to be.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: So I do to expect that he is going to
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: be that.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: So to our final big thing today, which is free
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: agents and extensions, because as we head into the off season,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: there's going to be a whole bunch of free agents
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: that need to be considered whether or not they're coming
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: back to Jacksonville, and also some contract extensions that could
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: happen as well. One of the big free agents is
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: going to be running back Travesty at them said he
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: has his choice, like to stay here in jack most definitely.
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: I feel like when I got duck to I wanted
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: to be one of the best running beast to ever,
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: you know, pulling New Jersey. I want to be remember
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: with let the guys Fred Taylor, Marius Jones, Juli you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 8: you had Leonard Fronet, just guys who have been here,
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: Like you want to set that standard, you want to.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Live a legacy.
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: I feel like I was able to do that at Clemson.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: That's why I went there to the legacy, to leave
• 6:00
  Speaker 8: a legacy, and I feel you've got people to come
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: and follow that now and obviously you won't do it
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: in the NFL. But it's just a different It's just different.
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: It's not colleges. Different of how everything works, and that's
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: the business side of it. And aspects and things that
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: go into it that you I might not ever understand,
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: but it's not for me to understand, so I kind
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: of just stop trying to figure those things out and
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: just focus on what I could do on the field
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: and everything else else take care of itself.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of stuff that goes into this.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: We don't know who will stay and who they'll resign,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: but I think it is a little bit different to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: kind of hear these players saying, hey, I want to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: stay here, whether it's Traves Etn, treyvon Walker, these are
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: talented players that want to stay here long term, maybe
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: something that hasn't happened a ton with past regimes, but
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you're seeing the buy in now.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and listen, they've done a lot of work to
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: make this a place where players wanted to be, whether
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: it's the coaching staff they built around them, or the
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: support staff, the dining facility. I mean, everything about being
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: in Jacksonville right now is different than it has been
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: at any point in the past. So I can see
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: why guys like that would want.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: To be here.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: And by the way, these are guys who are core
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: members of what you have been this season. Etn in
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: particular fourteen touchdowns. I would want him back. The price
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: has got to be right, and that's what they're talking
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: about when it comes to considerations. But being a Jacksonville
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Jaguar John is different now than it was before the
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: season began, where people looked and said, well, what are
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: they really Well, Liam Cohen, Tony Biselli and James Gladstone
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: have redefined what this franchise is and players know that
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: this is a place they can win.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a place players want to be.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: And on Monday or Tuesday, Ryan, you said, hey, this
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: transition tag could be a possibility for ETN.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: That makes a lot of sense.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: They need him back for what they want to do
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: offensively that It was interesting in the press conference when
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: James Gladstone was talking about Trayvon Walker and being such
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: a core a guy that you want around the Jaguars.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: He's a phrase want to move forward with. I thought
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: that was the key phrase with Trayvon. So let's hope,
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: because we all like Travon Walker on this show a lot,
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: let's hope that that's a thing going forward.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: I'd love to see that.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: But I think the overriding storyline is with this success
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: with the vibe, the culture, whatever you call it, it's real.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: And you know, the guys they keep will be guys
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: that fit into.
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: That, you know.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: As they left the press conference, I had a very
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: brief conversation with James Gladstone today asking about Jaguars DNA
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: John because that was such a big storyline earlier when
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: he first came in, and I asked about Trayvon Walker
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: and he used the term proof of concept. In other words,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: the DNA is about toughness. Is there any player that
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: better defines toughness than Trayvon Walker? The proof of concept
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: is they asked him to play a certain way and
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: he did all season long.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: With a broken arm and above me too.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: So to see what Trayvon's being able to do. We'll
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about what these players do.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Eensions might look like. But we heard a ton from
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: James Gladstone and Liam Cohen. We'll talk about that more
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: after the break. Gag Zam brought to you by Field
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Auto Group, se Field's first Jacksonville's premier luxury auto group.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Head over to Fields Auto dot com. Welcome back into
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: jag Zam in the PM today, as we had our
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: press conference with the GM and the head coach kind
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: of wrap things up for the season, and it was
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: about thirty five minutes. I think they both talked so
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of little tidbits. I recommend you go to
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the YouTube page or Jaguars dot com and check out
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the full thing because I think there's a lot of
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: little bits that were in there and you can kind
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: of pick up on and maybe look forward to things.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: But Brian, what was something?
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I think there was a SoundBite that you wanted to
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: mention that you really kind of hung with you.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Process is a big word. They use it in corporate
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: settings and football, and Nick Saban has obviously used it
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: in his illustrious career. But they talked about pride and
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: process and here's James Gladstone with his thoughts on it.
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: When you think back to twenty twenty four, there was
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: plenty of talent to keep you know, close games, but
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: we needed to raise the floor and inject in tangibles
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: into the football team so that we could close games
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: and to be able to see that come to fruition.
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: It's certainly something that we can take some pride in.
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: And really what was so great is Liam's message was
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: absorbed by our players. It was believed by our players,
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: but it was going one to zero, and you know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: to be able to say, hey, looking right here, we
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: need to pour in simply to our process, not worry
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: so much about the results, and find fulfillment there knowing
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: that regardless of if we win a Super Bowl or
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: if we don't, that ball is rolling back down to
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: the bottom of the hill and we got to start
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: all the way over.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: So, whether whether it's Satan or whether it's Cohen and Gladstone,
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: the bottom line here is that they were focused on
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: how they did things and doing things the right way
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: for the right reason, and trusting that the results would come.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: They didn't lean too heavily on what the results were.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Now the results were really good this year, wins, only
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: four losses in the regular season. They every single week
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: focused on doing the same thing the same way, because
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: that guy is how they measured their success. And we
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: were all here last year we know it wasn't that way.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: The process that they put in place, they can now
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: count on John going forward into twenty twenty six as
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: being proven and if they continue to do things those way,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: the results will continue to come.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the culture set, I mean it's and a culture set.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: That doesn't mean the roster set. It doesn't mean that
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: everything is great because you went thirteen and four this year,
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: but there's no doubt walking around this place. I think
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: the key is you've coupled what you're talking about with
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: the every week message that sort of stems from the EVP.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: This is the most important game in franchise history. It's
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: great to be processed, but you better treat that game
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: important and go try to win it. So I think
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: there's a really good com nation of that going on
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: right now. And again, Bryan, you and I've been around
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: a long time. As Trevor said on Monday, this feels sustainable.
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: They always couch that with.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: It doesn't mean it is sustainable, but if we keep
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: doing what we're doing, there is a trust that this
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: process will.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: Eventually lead to where they want to go.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: If I was going to title the process con it
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: would be one to zero, right. I mean he said
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: it every single week, just one game at a time.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: It's only about winning one game. You can't focus on
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: anything else, and it bore out all season long for me.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I feel like we've talked a little bit about this,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: but we'll talk more as the offseason goes along, free
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: agency is going to be big for them this year.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: It was last year, but maybe their own players whether
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: or not they want to retain them. And one of
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the big names is going to be Devin Lloyd, who
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: had an outstanding breakout season this year. And James Gladstone
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: talked a little bit about what they've seen in their
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: time here with Devin.
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: The connection between him the coaching staff was real. Being
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: deployed in the right ways. He felt confident in the
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: ways that he was doing it from both defense and
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: special teams. If you're talking about a guy that is
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: pointing at an all pro level on defense, but is
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: running down on kickoff every time we score and making
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: plaise for us. So extremely happy for Devin and his
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: production this season and finding real footing in a way
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: that aligned with what he knew he could be. Look
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: forward to working through the offseason process with our coaching
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: staff and everyone else to determine what's best for everybody
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: and seeing if there's something to be done.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: So I think there's a couple of parts to that.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Obviously, what we've seen from Devin this year has been outstanding.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Coach Campinelle's gotten a lot out of the players that
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: he had on his roster. But I think it's also
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: interesting to kind hear they're going to work on it, right,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: it's not a guarantee that he's going to come back,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: and John, I think there should be some emphasis in
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: one year does not necessarily mean that's how they're looking
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: forward to building the defense, because we may see a
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: significant change on the defensive side of the football.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: In this league, it's year to year and Devin and
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: many players were great for this franchise this year. Can
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: you resign them all? I've been saying for two or
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: three months. This team has some hard decisions to make.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: Fans aren't gonna like all those decisions. I hope Devin
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: Lloyd's back at the position he is. The franchise tag
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: will be tough. I think it's gonna be tough to
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: bring Devin Lloyd back. That doesn't mean he wasn't phenomenal
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: this year. It means it's going to be tough to
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: bring him back next year.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: Seven takeaways, five interceptions, he recovered two fumbles. He was
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: an excellent football player for them this year. But one
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: thing that James Gladstone said about three different times in
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: the middle of the press conference was how the defensive
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: scheme would evolve, and that means that they always had
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: a vision for what this defense would be. This year's
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: defense was what they could do with the players they had.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: What they ultimately end up with depends on the players
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: that they want. Can they find the guys that they want?
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: They'll talk to Devin Lloyd. Why wouldn't you? He's an
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: all pro performer, But John, I'm with you, have a
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: hard time seeing him back here.
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: The position that he.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Plays is going to be cost prohibitive. And why if
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: you're Devin Lloyd, would you even consider being a bargain player?
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: You worked for four years to get to a point
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: where you had a body of work that you could
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: show and someone's going to fall in love with it.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: There's a couple of teams with more than one hundred
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: million dollars in cap room and someone's going to come
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: in and swoop up a six foot three, two hundred
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: and forty pound athlete who takes the ball away.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: We don't have that much money here, do we no?
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: And it listen, it's worth noting there are other guys
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: that you want to sign. I mean, maybe you want
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: to bring Etn back. Brenton Strange is going to need
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: a contract at some point in time, and then there's
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Trayvon Walker who probably plays on his fifth year option,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: but we already talked about what an important component he is.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: You can't keep everybody, and it's just a fact of life.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: The Jaguars have not had to let good players go
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: very often. They will.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: Parker Washington had it. Absolutely can't forget him.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Lots of names, lots of stuff going on.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Let's also talk a little bit about what this offseason
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: will look like for the front office, because at this
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: time last year they were still trying to figure out
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: who the head coach was going to be. There wasn't
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: a GM quite yet, and James Gladstone talked about what
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: he's going to do differently this time around the.
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: Fact that the timeline of just the scouting cycle remaining
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: consistent up to this point, I'm in a very similar
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: place that I was this time last year with the draft,
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: with pro free agency. The piece that is obviously sped
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: up is now the understanding of our current roster and
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: not being forced to sort of dive into that with
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: very little nuances and depth to it. So I think
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: that's a really helpful piece in order to make some
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: decisions now. Procedurally, we incorporated new functions and mechanisms that
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: our scouting staff and our coaching staff didn't necessarily have
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: experience with in the past. So obviously those will be
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: new wrinkles that will work in looking forward to seeing
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: those unfold in real time.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: So obviously talking a little bit about that scouting process,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: what this is going to look like? John, the Rams
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: organization doesn't usually go to the combine. He may kind
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: of go about things differently, So what could this offseason look.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Like for them?
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: What'd be surprised if the Jaguars, I mean, JAG's what
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: we represented to the combine. I don't think it'll be
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: the entire entourage. I think James said it how it
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: should be said. His outward process, meaning looking at draft picks,
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: looking at free agents, didn't really change last year. He
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: had done all that for the Rams. He took his
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: knowledge and he brought it here. It's fine people working
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: around him now have a year of knowing how he
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: wants to do.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: Things in the off season.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: Probably the biggest takeaway, Brian, when you're looking at your
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: own roster, which he had to do last year. He
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: had to cram for the test, he had to study,
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: he had to go off books, and by the time
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: Freedoms Ye rolled around, I'm sure he would tell you
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: he knew the team, but he didn't like it wasn't
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: inside of him. Now, every guy on this roster, they've
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: talked about in the practice field, they've talked about in October. Hey,
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: what are you thinking early on about traffic? What are
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: you thinking early on about I'm just naming names. So
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: there's going into the off season. They all know how
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: they feel about these guys. They have a core feel.
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: For the roster.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: Whereas last year it was like you've been reading a book.
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: Now they've lived it.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: And then, just to put an example to that, they
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: knew that Traylon Walker was a tough guy. Last year,
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: everyone did big, strong, physical top. He was the number
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: one overall draft pick, obviously, but they have a different
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: level of understanding and appreciation for a guy who dislocates
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: his wrist. And if you go back and watch the
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: play that he did that aging in San Francisco, you
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: see a guy flying across the field to make a play,
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: and then the play where he hurt his knee where
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: he had the tight end and the right tackle against
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: the Chargers and shoved him to the sideline and made
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: a big third down stopping and then he kept trying
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: to play. So you have a greater appreciation of feeling
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: in your gut. You know exactly who these guys are
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: as opposed to who you think they are, because you
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: watch them on tape and you talk to them, you
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: watch them practice, you watch them in the medical room,
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: you watch them on the road. You know intimately who
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: the players on your team are this year, and that's
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: a huge advantage.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: Kind Yeah, I think we all sort of feel like
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: walking around, I consider Brenton and Brenton Strange and Trayvon
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: Walker sort of the identity of this franchise right now.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: They are the guys. Oh, that's what this team wants
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: to be. They didn't know that last year. They hoped
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: you hope if you look at Brenton Strange in the
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: practice field, no tag, you're like, well, I hope he's
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: what I think he is because that's special. Well now
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: you've seen special, and so yeah, I think that is
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: That's everything in terms of trying to piece together.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: A roster Jaguars DNA. Those two guys define it seeing
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: what it's.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Going to be going forward as well.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Say with here, we're going to talk a little bit
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: about what went well this season and what they need
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: to work on in the off season. For twelve years,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Dreambinders Homes have been pround to call themselves the official
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: homebuilder of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Visit dreambinders dot com for
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: all of the available inventory and go Jacks. Welcome back
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: into jags Am this afternoon, our final show of this season.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: We are going to talk a little bit as we
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: look back.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: At the season.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: We'll take some time after this of course too, but
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: just kind of looking back, we're looking at what this
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: team did well and what they can get better at.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: So better and best of Brian, when you look back
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: at this team, what's something they can get better at
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and what were they really the best.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: At this year? I loved it. They talked about the
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: news conference they three better, three best, and they'll have
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: that for every individual player who comes back, three things
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: that they could do better and the three things they
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: did best this year. So I chose a couple of
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: different things. First of all, they can get better pass protection,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: John If you go back to the middle of October
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: when the Jaguars lost to the Rams and the Seahawks,
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: they give a fourteen sacks. They were really good early
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: and then fourteen sacks. The quarterback was battered. Go back
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: to December, in back to back games against the Broncos
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: and Colts, he was hit twenty two times, even though
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: they won those two games. And then if you go
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: back and look a little bit at the game on
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Sunday against the Bills, there were a couple of throws,
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: especially early on in the ball game, where it looked
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: like a bad throw, but you could see that he
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: couldn't step into the throw because he had somebody in
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: his face. I think they have to be better at
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: pass protection. And then I think that they were best
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: at run defense. I questioned that a bit later in
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: the year, just how.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: Good was this team.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: But when you go back and look what they did
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: to Jonathan Taylor, and you look what they did to
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: James Cook, they shot him down completely. They were the
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: best run defense in football. It's one of the things
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: they did best this year. It allowed them to pressure
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: the quarterback, which they did I think a top five
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: number and helped create the takeaways because when they have
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: to throw the ball, Jaguar's got twenty two interceptions. So
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: I thought they can be better at pass protection. And
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: I thought the run defense was one of the best
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: things they did all year.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they were standing run defense and it set up everything.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: I think the protection they were good running throughout the
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: course of the year. I'm not sure they could rely
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: on it as much as they wanted to, and I
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: think that put them in some situations where.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: It was harder to protect than they wanted it to be.
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: So it all fits together.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: It's hard in the first year, we forget they've only
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: been putting this plan together since March. To get to
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: thirteen and four with some stuff that they knew wasn't
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: ideal is impressive. So I went with a run game
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: and scoring offense.
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: The run game was.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: Really good in situations when they got outside the tackles
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: early on, when they could get Travis and Bacheltuton outside.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: You saw it even on Sunday, they had some really
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: good stuff. I think they would like to be able
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: to run some of their middle stuff a lot better.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: I think that will be focused on the running backs
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: and on what they've got going inside on the offense.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: I think that's got to get better because that will
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: take the offense to the next level. Scoring offense. Look,
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: it was outstanding. I don't think anybody thought in week
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: seven that you were getting ready to look at thirty
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: one thirty two points a game, only one game under
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: twenty four points.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: The rest of the way. If they get where they.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: Want to go with the running offense, scoring offens already
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: already really good, it's long as gonna get better. This
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: is the team that's going to score a lot of
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: points next year.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: It's the best stretch of offense in Jaguars's history. And
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, for someone who's been around the whole time,
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: I had to go back and really look at the
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Mark Brunel, Jimmy Smith, Keenan mccardial, Fred Taylor days, James
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Stewart days, and just compare it. I mean, this is
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: almost a field goal game better twenty seven to twenty
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: four points or even the ninety nine teams. So it
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: was a remarkable run on offense. And you mentioned it.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: At one point they were scoring thirty four points a game. Yeah,
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: really did a hell of a job putting points on
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: the board this year. And you get the sense with
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: this quarterback that it can get a lot better.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: Well, and remark, I think they're still It's hard in
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: one year because you're drafting and you're waiting for guys
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: to come along. You signed free agents, you've got guys
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: that you still sort of, hey, we want to switch
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: this out. For this to be where they were and
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: not really have have gotten through the whole shopping list,
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: It's gonna be interesting next year.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Very very exciting to see. I went on the defensive
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: side of the football. For me, it was coverage and takeaways.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: So obviously takeaways, I think they matched their total from
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: the year before in the first three weeks, so they
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: automatically that was a pride of a point of pride
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: for this defense under Anthony Campanila, to have their face
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: looking towards the quarterback and towards the ball and making
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: plays on the ball and getting extra possessions.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: That helped a lot.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I think in terms of this scoring offense is getting
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: extra possessions for the offense from the defense. But later
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: in the year, and maybe this wasn't an issue the
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: entire season, but coverage was a problem in the game
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills and that's probably, if not the
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: only factor, one of the main factors why you lost
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: a football game. So for me, it's the miscommunication on
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the back end. And I think they did a great
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: job with Jordan Lewis and Eric Murray coming in with
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: those veteran presences. They worked a ton with Antonio Johnson
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: and Jari Jones and getting them to play to a
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: higher level. But the breakdowns at points with Greg Newsom
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: and Andrew Wingert, I think were some of the biggest
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: issues that we saw.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: When you can give up explosives.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Like that, that's a problem because as good as you
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: can be on the run defense and anywhere else in
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: the defense, if you're giving up explosives, you're basically giving
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: back what you did for the first parts of that possession.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: So for me, those were the big factors.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's all new people, if
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: that's working on the communications, getting people healthy. You were
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: without Jordan Lewis late, But I think the secondary is
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: a point of focus for sure when I'm looking at
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: how they're going.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: To deal with that.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: We heard James Gladstone mentioned, you know, if you look
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: at a roster. He was talking about Travis Hunter, in particular,
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: but if you look at the roster, you can see
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: expiring contract for News is one of those, Monterrek Brown
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: is one of those. It makes sense for Travis to
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: sort of slot in there. You missed him. He's an
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: elite level corner and you had those two breakdowns in
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: the fourth quarter in coverage and boy you want them back.
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you like those back, and look, injuries are
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: part of it.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: But I think if you looked at it from a
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: logical point of view, you thought you're gonna have Kalb Branson. Yeah,
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: you thought you were gonna have Travis Hunter, So you
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: thought you're gonna Jordan Lewis. If I was listing those,
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: I think people putting together the roster would have thought
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: those would have been three of your what top seven
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: eight defend maybe better. So I think they will probably
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: try to add one more corner outside of the names
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: I just mentioned, But you don't have to add a
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: lot to get a lot better there if the guys
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: that you were counting on come back the way you
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: think they will, and just to.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: Know it on the takeaways thirty one, second most in
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: franchise history, one of only four teams ninety nine two
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: thousand and seven, twenty seventeen to now twenty twenty five,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: that got more than thirty takeaways and they were second
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: in the league to the Bears. I mean they said
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: that they had the most interceptions in the NFL this
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: season with twenty two. It really was remarkable what they did,
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: and you listed all the reasons why. But you can
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: still change and have your face at the quarterback and
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: not necessarily make those plays. It was a fun season
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: to watch this defense take a dramatic journ of one
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: of our biggest storylines from training camp.
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: And not insignificant in the secondary. I mentioned those three
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: guys you also this year. You know we talk about
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: guys yea, Antonio Johnson and Garan Jones are all of
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: a sudden, you list those two guys, you list Murray,
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: you list Jordan Lewis, Travis Hunter, and Kea ransall coming back.
• 27:56

  Speaker 1: these last two months on that a game nextree Ah.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Man, John, I think both you and I said nine
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: wins would be a dramatic first season for Leam because
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: they got him back into that conversation. They'd be in
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: the hunt for the division title race in December, and
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: it turned out to be the best division title race
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: I can recall. I mean, you had to win every
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: week to stay ahead of the Texans and to win
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: the division, to win thirteen games, the second most Enfranchise history,
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: his first year as a head coach, his coordinator's first
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: year in that role, James Gladstone in his first year
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: of his role in Tony. I mean it really the
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: story of this season is one that you could write
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: a book about.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: They found their regime, they found their coach, they found
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: their identity, their quarterback find a quarterback, and you know,
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: the team in the city got its pride in this
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: thing back and.

  Speaker 5: I've seen most ninety six, ninety nine, seventeen. This is
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: on that rushmore. Their goal is to get one that's
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: above that.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: I yes, and I should have sent you the video

  Speaker 4: I took of the stadium. You probably each took one.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: Two towels waving right after the flyover and the national anthem.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: That was as good a scene as any I have
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: ever seen in this building. That includes the divisional game
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: against the Dolphins, where there was just such intensity for
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: that ninety nine team. It was amazing. And when you
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: look at all the things that are exciting about this,
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: to have that fan based tied in like they are,
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: to believe like it appears they do, and what's going
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: on here, I think the future is so bright.
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: I just can't.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: I can't be too down. I know there's still people
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: in this room, in this building that are down sure
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: about what happened, But I just I'm smiling because it
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: feels good.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Look, it takes a while to get it's so hard.
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: You start in March.

• 31:45
  Speaker 5: in here dancing and be fired up for the next
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: practice on the Tuesday after the regular season. But they'll
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: get through that and then they'll be ready to push
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: that boulder up the mountains.
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: That look.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: Don't think about the bowlder right now, you know, if
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: you're a player or that'll come and they'll work.
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: To get there.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: So it's exciting to be around this. Really very cool.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: A good visual to go out on as well with
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: the stadium because that's the last time we'll see it
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: that way as the renovations will begin. It'll be lower
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: capacity next year and then we'll look a little bit
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: different after that.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: Very cool by the way that that stadium, those fans
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: had that moment in that stadium right like there's a
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: lot of fans were there who had been at games
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: for thirty years, thirty two years. Won't be like that again,
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: but to have it go out with that, yeah, pretty cool.
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: Pretty cool.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: We are going to take a break. Everybody in this
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: building is going to take a break.
